There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Coram to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
